Saying goodbye to our elf buddy.
We caught Santa on camera again ;)
Brian gave Brady the 22 that he got from his dad when he was 5. Yes I said 5. That is way to young in my opinion but since his parents divorced shortly after that and his dad passed away years ago its great for Brian to have something to pass along to Brady.
The kids dressed up for church.
Making cookies for Santa with Dad. They make oatmeal applesauce cookies from a recipe that grandma Terrie used to make. Mrs Santa doesn’t really like these cookies but apparently Santa loves them =)
We let mowgli in for awhile until… he started holding a point on the cat like he does when they bird hunt.
Excited to open their Christmas Eve presents….
Surprise Jammas again=)
And yes both girls have feetsie jammies. At least they like them =)
All settled in to drink hot cocoa and watch A Christmas Story.
The kids had their annual school Christmas program the other day. Krissa’s class was especially great they sang jingle bell rock and danced to it. Even the teachers were really into it. It makes me sad that this is her last elementary program.
The kids and I made sugar cookies this afternoon. I was really surprised at how good they were.
Paislee did all these all by her self.
Brady pretending like it was an accident to frost half of his hand=)
The kids finished product.
My finished product.
Krissa entered a contest to draw the cover for her schools yearbook. She came home on friday saying she had won first place. We are so proud of her she is really a great artist. Congrats.
Last weekend we had our annual Peatross/Mortensen Christmas party. We had a good time but we missed Brandon and Terrie. Last time we had a party in Duchesne they were both there. So this year was tough. Grandma Nancy gave us all ornaments with Terries picture and a poem on it. We loved it.
The whole gang. I was so glad we took the picture outside. It was much nicer out there. Which made for a much nicer picture.
